At home, Dr. Hughes shares a special bond with her pets: two adorable cats, Indi and Funyun, and a playful (and sometimes naughty) dog named Nellie. Her love for her own animals inspires her to go above and beyond for her patients. Recently, her family has grown to include her baby daughter, Penelope, who brings endless joy to her life. In her free time, Dr. Hughes enjoys traveling, reading, hiking, camping, binging true crime documentaries and podcasts, and attending live music events.
